What a pleasure to discover (or rediscover!) the quilts of Leslie J Riley! Color, mouvement, rhythm, dense surfaces, everything I love. Go to her website, and admire the more than 70 quilts pictured there.

(I have to find out how she finds the time to produce so many intricate quilts!)

On next May 9th and 10th, I'll give a color workshop at Orbe, Switzerland, in French, called "A nous les nuances!" There are a few spots left.

I usually teach for guilds, or private groups. The workshop is then instantly full, or not open to the public. This time, it is organized by a quilt shop and open to all. So take your chance!

The workshop will be about color, color arrangements, color inspiration, etc. The participants will make numerous machine sewn exercices, using all kinds of quick sewing methods. An intensive and playful workshop!

You may have seen here that I was planting some color in my garden. I'm collecting pink tulips, and had bought some interesting tulip bulbs in Holland. I really trusted the Dutch for the quality of their tulips! How disappointed! I got plain yellow and bright red. It is till pretty and with a feel of spring, but see what I was hoping for:

A good friend of mine is back in South China, and it brings back a lot of memories...
